This left them with a good part of the vacation to spend in
Bellemere, and the two children were beginning to plan for their fun.
One of the first things Bunny found to do the next morning--the first
morning of the vacation--was to water the garden.
"May I take the hose and sprinkle?" he asked.
"If you don't get yourself wet through," his mother answered.
"I'll be careful," Bunny promised.
There was a vegetable garden at the side of the house, a garden which
Uncle Tad had made and of which he was very proud. As there had been no
rain for some days the garden was in need of water.
The hose was attached to the faucet, for Uncle Tad had been watering the
garden the night before, and he had gone away, leaving word that if any
one had time to spray more water on the vegetables they should do so, as
the ground was very dry.
"I like to water the garden," said Bunny, and he took great delight in
directing the stream from the hose over the cabbages, beets and potatoes
which were coming up.
After watering for some time Bunny began to feel hungry, as he often
did, and started in to ask Mary for some bread and jam.
